 Modified Files:
 	src/sys/kern: kern_entropy.c
 
 Log Message:
 entropy(9): Allow unprivileged reads of sysctl kern.entropy.epoch.
 
 Applications need this in order to know when to reseed.  (We should
 also expose it through a page shared read-only with userland for
 cheaper access, but until we do, let's let applications get at it
 through sysctl.)
